1. Apply last irrigation to the normal sown wheat around 15th March. However, late sown wheat may be irrigated according to the crop requirement. 2. The plants affected with flag smut should be rogued off and destroyed so as to reduce the inoculum inthe field. Remove loose smut infected ears from the field kept for seed production. 3. If the population of aphid reaches at ETL (5 aphids/earhead), spray the crop with 40 ml imidacloprid 200 SL or 20 g thiamethoxam or 12 g Dantop 50 WDG or 150 ml of Rogor 30 EC or Metasystox 25 EC in 80-100 litres of water per acre. 4. Army worm larvae feed on developing grains of wheat. Control these by spraying 200 ml Nuvan 85 SL or 400 ml Ekalux 25 EC or 1.2 kg Sevin 50 WP in 100 litres of water per acre.
